Small Changes Walk
The next Small Changes walk will take place on the 31st May 2009. Apologies for the cancellation of the last walk, but most people who usually come were unfortunately unavailable. We look forward to seeing a few more on the 31st at Endcliffe Park, as normal at 10:30.
Every month, current and past participants from Small Changes meet at Endcliffe Park in Sheffield and Walk to the Mayfield Alpaca Farm via Forge Dam in Fulwood.
Each month, we meet at 10:30 at the entrance to Endcliffe Park, on the Hunter's Bar roundabout. From here, we walk through Endcliffe Park, Bingham Park, and Whitley Woods to the Forge Dam Café in Fulwood. This section of the walk is flat, takes about 45 minutes and 5,000 steps. We usually arrive at the Forge Dam Café at approximately 11:15.
From Forge Dam, we then walk up to Ringinglow Village to the Mayfield Alpaca Farm. This part of the walk is a little more challenging, and takes up to 1 and a half hours, but again is about 5,000 steps. At the Alpaca Farm there is a lovely café, run by one of our previous participants, which serves wonderful sandwiches, jacket potatoes and panini.
After lunch, we walk back to Forge Dam, which takes about half an hour, and then back to Endcliffe Park.
The total walk adds up to 19,000 steps, but don't feel that you have to do it all. You can either:
- walk from Endcliffe Park to Forge Dam and back (this alone is 10,000 steps),
- walk from the Forge Dam to the Alpaca Farm and back (approx 9,000 steps),
- do the whole walk,
- or…meet us at the Alpaca farm for lunch.
